Type1Livabetic

Rocko feelin right at home

"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." This pretty much sums up my 2-week SCUBA trip to the Philippines back in July. As you may have read from one of my earlier posts, I believe in plans, back-up plans, and back-up to the back-up plans when it comes to my diabetic supplies! I’ve learned some hard lessons recently, and I’ll do my best to lay it all out here for posterity and in the hopes others can learn from my mistakes. 

Game Changer!!!

What’s my blood sugar????

If you know me, you know I love travel and adventure. If you’re here on this site, you probably do too. Being a type 1 diabetic does not at all mean there are or should be any restrictions on when, where, or how we travel, but it certainly means we need to consider quite a bit more in our packing plans and make many more life affecting decisions when thinking about what to bring.  

Sitting here today, in a beautiful beach town surrounded by jungle on the West Coast of Costa Rica, seems the ideal moment to embark on this journey of discovery, knowledge-sharing, and community.
